Location on Moonstone Beach
Location was perfect, steps from Moonstone Beach. A fireplace in the room was a bonus as was the Breakfast Basket delivered to our room each morning.

Very nice stay
We will definitely go back. The room was roomy. It had a fireplace. The only thing I didn’t like about the fireplace was that the size of the flame depended on the temperature setting of the thermostat. Sometimes we like the ambiance of the fireplace, but couldn’t really use it if it got too hot. That’s just being picky. We didn’t know there was a patio. So that was nice surprise. The breakfast was cute when it was delivered in a picnic basket. Loved the hot tub. Walking distance to the beach. Everything was nice and comfortable.

A very beautiful little room very nice area you can walk right across the street to the beach. Just know when I say they have room service all it is is breakfast that they bring to your room. However the room is very clean and comfortable. I recommend staying here

The rooms are nice and the property is neat and clean. The breakfast delivered to your room is very convenient, but I am not wild about eating in the room and the food was at best mediocre.

Great place to stay on Moonstone in Cambria! The staff were very nice and the complimentary breakfast was great! We had a little patio in the back so that was an added bonus😊 I would highly recommend Sea Otter Inn for anyone who loves Cambria and its pet friendly!
